Yes, buy a $10K lens!Guitarsoup said:ntxVOL said:
Yeah, prime isn't a good choice for sports, I agree. I have an 85mm F/1.8 that I love, love, love, it is great for portraits and I like getting candids of the grandkids too but a prime lens does make you work a little harder. That lens has proven to be very versatile IMO.
The 400mm 2.8 lens is THE sports lens.
Go micro 4/3 and you can have a 400 f/2.8 for a mere $3k,
Or the new 50-200 (100-400 equiv) f/2.8-4 for $1,700.

Update for thise interested...i have an amazing wife. I went through all the cameras i was considering and what i found to be positives and negatives about each one. Then she said youre not buying a used camera get you a new camera the one you want. So i am the proud owner of a new Nikon D750. Got my copy of understanding exposure in the mail today. Time to start learning about all that goes with pgotography. Thanks for all the advice and resources mentioned. Looking forward to sharing pictures with all of you
Excellent choice.

Well done to your wife and great choice for yourself! That camera should do everything you want it to do. Welcome to looking at and thinking about life a little bit differently from now on.
T&P for your wallet. Guns, ammo, lenses, tripods, hard drives, processing software... your cash and free time belong to them now.
I have a couple hundred pics from baseball to process. Op doesn't k ow what he started.

Great kit. That lens isn't bad at all, and the D750 is a great low light camera. Nice job by the wife!AgBQ-00 said:

^^^What they said, especially on "Understanding Exposure".
Enjoy the new gear and I recommend a separate camera equip floater on the HO policy especially as you add more.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned about BPSOP and their online "Understanding Exposure" is they have a lot of videos. You will learn a lot of tricks for taking different photos such as sunrises, sunsets, silhouettes, lightning, moon etc...
You can go to their website and watch them.
